California Wildfires Fundraiser
Our thoughts are with those impacted by the devastating wildfires that have ravaged communities across California, home to more than 1,500 CREFC members. These fires, fueled by dry conditions, intense winds, and low humidity, have consumed tens of thousands of acres, destroyed homes, and displaced hundreds of families, including those of CREFC members.
To aid in the relief and recovery efforts, CREFC has established fundraiser pages with the American Red Cross and the California Community Foundation. We invite our members to join us in this critical cause by making donations through our dedicated fundraising pages:
American Red Cross
California Community Foundation – Wildfire Recovery Fund
Your donation enables these organizations to provide safe shelter, food, emotional support, and other vital services to those in need.
CREFC will match all member donations. Please consider contributing to the relief efforts and demonstrating the strength and unity of the CREFC community.
